I can ignore getting on the digital treadmill by not buying into the marketing hype. More of a concern to me is the increasing amount of digital video images used instead of actual historical film of events from the last century. The History Channel is going this route in a big way right now. I don't know if we will see revisionist history being presented to the next generation as a result of this but the potential for abuse is scary. Regards, Greg
